There's
proof firefighters complained about these issues last year. But work orders
obtained from the department of public works showed claimed the was complete.

“It
had been reported, public works was working on it, we were working on it and so
it was a work in progress,” says Fire Chief Robert Creecy. “I am not satisfied
that we did it as quickly as we could have but it wasn't that nobody was doing
anything about it, or nobody cared.”

There
were also questions about asbestos in the building.

“I
have no indication that there would be an asbestos problem in this station,”
Creecy says. “I can't rule that out in other stations. Whenever we have found
asbestos to be a problem and it was identified, through scientific testing, we
have taken measured to abate it.”

It's been
six days since the fire fighters had to leave station 14 because of the mold.

Now that
they are back, there is a big difference.

Missing
and damaged ceiling tiles have been replaced and there are even new vents in
some places.

“We
are going out to protect the city of Richmond,”
Andes says. “All we want is for us to be protected at the station that we live
at. We consider it our home.”
